Hi,
I am currently modeling an electrothermal actuator.
I want to see the displacement that a device can generate when I apply a voltage difference between its ends.
First, I run a coupled thermal-electric simulation and got the temperature profile. Finally, I run a Static, general analysis to get the displacements, using the temperature profile as a Predefined Field.
The first version of NanoCap has been released and is free to download on Sourceforge:

A tool for generating atomic coordinates for capped nanotubes and fullerenes.

Hello everyone.. Consider a cantilever for sequential load steps in abaqus.
Fist step I want to apply imposed displacement of 2mm at free end.
2nd step I want impose +/-6mm Z displacement at free end (total 3
cycles. (One cycle= +6 and -6 mm in z direction)
Can somebody let me know how to do this. how to define two steps ?
Thank you in advance
Vasant
Dear colleagues,
I have one question concerning the TSHR (transverse shear stresses) output request in application of Thick Shell S8R elements in Abaqus/standard.
the follow qarning occurs: Output request tshr is not available when *transverse shear stiffness is specified on the *shell section definition or a material in the shell has been defined without *elastic
Can anybody please help with an advioce or two, on how to solve this?
all the best
